Starmer has painted himself into a corner with his non opposition. The nurses are getting 3 per cent pay rise and he wouldn't go over 2.1. Outflanked by the tories from the left. Just one of many examples where he has made it all too easy for them.

If Starmer had put a more professional spin on what corbyn was offering and tidied things up I would likely have voted for him. But not now.

I'm more and more convinced he is a fig leaf to cover up for Blair and Mandelson. The only tactic seems to be remove any semblance of left wing politics and hope the tories xxxx it up so bad Murdoch gives them his blessing.
